Abstract

As a simple model of the cortical sheet, we study a locallyconnected net of spiking neurons, Refractoriness, noise, axonaldelays, and the time course of excitatory and inhibitorypostsynaptic potentials are taken into account explicitly. Inaddition to a low-activity state and depending on the synapticefficacy, four different scenarios evolve spontaneously, viz.,stripes, spirals, rings, and collective bursts. Our results can berelated to experimental observations of drug-induced epilepsy andhallucinations.
